"One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying"
-Joan of Arc


Joan of Arc was one to be inspired by. She accepted God's plans for her life, even though at the time they were seen as completely unlawful and socially wrong. She succeeded in whatever God had told her to do, equipping her with everything she ever needed. She was burnt at the stake, accused of being a heretic, and in her trial she was asked and then stated;

Are you in the grace of God??

"If I am not, God place me there; if I am, may God so keep me. I should be the saddest in all the world if I knew that I were not in the grace of God. But if I were in a state of sin, do you think the voice would come to me?"
- Joan

Her life was in complete service to God...
Joan's story also shows us the grace of God, willing to use anyone who wants to be used by him. She was but a peasant girl, a commoner who God willing broke all the social, political and religious standards of her time to do what God put in her hand.

Thanks God that we dwell in your grace, that "in our weaknesses you are strong"(2cor 12). God thankyou that you equip us with everything that we need to complete the path and plans that you have for our lives.

- Lets be the Joan's of our time, following God and not the world.
